Podcast Episode 8 – Walt Hampton and Ann Sheybani

This is a different kind of conversation. A talk about entrepreneurship, tackling difficult and challenging times in business, overcoming obstacles, building confidence, enduring in extreme rock and ice climbing and a quiet life in Ireland.

I invited a real power couple onto the show, Walt Hampton and Ann Sheybani. Both are highly successful entrepreneurs, endurance athletes and thought leaders.

I first „met“ Ann back in 2011. My first website on ultra marathon training had been up and running for about year and she had sent me a really nice email in regards to an ebook I had written.

As I found out, she´s all about endurance, too. Not just in sports but in life.In her early 30´s Ann broke free from a challenging and troublesome marriage in Iran where she had lived and raised her two daughters. After she began running her life fundamentally changed from the ground up along with her passion for writing.

Ann now runs her on- and offline business as a Book Yourself Solid sales and Marketing Certified Coach. She´s a harvard-trained writer, amazon best-selling author, writing workshop director and book bootcamp master sargent.

Walt helps entrepreneurs and professionals create the work and the lives they love. Lives filled with with purpose, passion and possibility. Lives filled with prosperity and peace; joy-filled lives so that they can re-claim for themselves freedom, fun and fulfillment.

Four years ago, Ann and Walt dediced to turn their backs to their busy lives in the US and now reside on the coast in Ireland where they enjoy a quiet life in between working, running, climbing the world´s highest summits and traveling back for their other businesses in the States.

Walt, acclaimed keynote speaker and writer, educated as trial attorney and founder of Summit Of Success and Book Yourself Solid – coach, author of „Journeys On The Edge“ – living a life that matter is also trained as a Tony Robbins Results Coach and teaches Michael Port’s Book Yourself Solid™.

Busy and stressed you think?

It´s all about time mastery. Walt and Ann share their powerful routine that helps you stay in your lane and focused. Plus, this is a conversation about confidence, the slow and steady progress as entrepreneurs and what the main mistakes are that people make as they embark on their entrepreneurial journeys.

Having built four businesses from scratch, Walt claims: Focus will be the new currency of the economy.

If you want to live 11 years(!) longer, things must change. We need to shift from losing ourselves on social media and constantly checking emails to committing ourselves to our life goals and aligning those to the true purpose of our being and existence.
